Oooh i like the new cover image! 

Its impressive what you managed to accomplish in the span of a week! It feels polished, deep & thought through. The pixel art is lovely and the music blends well (maybe small comment: I struggled a bit with reading the font from time to time ; it does have a great pixel-vibe but to the detriment of legibility).

I did struggle to progress in the game ; not sure if its a balance thing around the #and types of cards in the original hand, or that you run out of options a little too fast? (might also just be me being bad at it) But I can see how with more playtesting & balancing this can become a great game!

I enjoyed this game a lot! The visuals and UI are charming and very well done. The game is easy to understand, but I could definitely see how someone who's a lot better at managing their cards than me could go much further. Excellent incorporation of the theme, and great job.

Great design, interesting take on a card game! I felt a little frustrated when running out of options. Maybe because the game ends very abruptly? I think a few more cards in the base hand size could be useful? Graphics and sound are excellent.

Tutorial in my jam game and also hexagonal terrains ??!! Sign me up.

And l love the art on the tiles. The BGM is smoothing and cozy as well.

So the card is to connect the tiles as long as you can go. It is not super obvious to me at first but more I play I feel like this is quite fun. All the terrain cards are beautiful as well.

Huge fan of the art and sound effects. The little twinkle when picking things up was the definition of dopamine.

This is very fitting to the theme of the jam in my opinion! As others mentioned, I believe it is very sophisticated to create something like that, reminds me a lot of Dorfromantik. The tutorial was also great and necessary to understand what to do. Great job.

This is a very well polished and thought out experience.

Creating a puzzle game like this is always impressive because balancing can be really difficult. It took me awhile but I was able to hit 33 tiles on my last play through, it never felt completely impossible and being able to see your deck in advance really helps strategize.

Perfectly adheres to the journey theme as it brings across a feeling of exploration.

Honestly can't think of too much to criticize, I think it would help to add a marker to where you are currently, as sometimes I would go deep into thought looking at my deck and hand then back at the screen and forgot exactly which tile I was on until I clicked on a card to open the movement selection. Maybe a little explorer guy or something as that would help thematically(since this kinda has the vibe of Civ where when you are sending a scout out.)

It didn't happen often but sometimes I strayed too far up and it was hard for me to see the tiles below, so being able to move the map would be useful when someone wants to plan a route.

Overall this has been the stand out of the Jam so far, nice work.

I played a couple of playthroughs and kept losing but still had fun! next time I'll try to plan ahead a bit more. I really like the design choice of having map building/placement as  strategic deckbuilding game. the art style is super nice and the game is very atmospheric in general. thanks for uploading, and good job!

This one was a ton of fun. I agree with littleAdler that this could be an enjoyable mobile game, especially if you add some more juice to placing tiles and the encounters. 

This is a delightfully nuanced take on the jam's theme. The gameplay is intricate, yet elegant in it's presentation. Also, the tutorial is a nice touch. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed this game! The pixel art is wonderful, the sound effects and music create a great atmosphere, and I found the gameplay both intuitive and relaxing. If you decide to expand on this in the future (which I believe you should) I think this would make a fantastic mobile game. I can definitely see myself pulling this up on my phone and playing for a few minutes to pass the time. Just my 2 cents though, well done!

Such an in depth game! I think this is an idea that could go really far with a little extra work post jam! quite impressive! Really lovely art too

I adore the artstyle and complexity of this game. It took me couple of tries to get the rules but after that it was smooth sailing.  I think it is a great fit for this jam's theme.

It’s really polish and more fun than i though it would be. The most i manage was 22 tiles, and i like that you can only place from the last tiles. It feel like you are exploring and shaping the world and make it even more relate to the theme.

I don’t know if it’s just me but sometime it seems the bonus we get is swap from what the card say. Sometimes it say i should get backpack bonus on the tile, but got sword instead. Or i probably miss somethings and there a percentage for both to appear.

It was a satisfying game congrats, the audio and visual pair really well together

Beatiful game and very a well polished experience. Although I never played Carcassone, I had much fun with this, so I might try it one day.

Some notes that I took:

• Great job of including a tutorial, it's really useful, especially with these kind of games. One minor thing I noticed that I began to place tiles before clicking the "Next" button and the highlights were off, because where it pointed out the terrain there was already a Town, same for the Location and Equipment. There was also a typo "You will always play from you_ most recently placed tile."
• The music blends well with the gameplay.
• The UI was very informative without being overcrowded. I probably could've figured it all out even without the tutorial. I'm not a fan of the font, though, I found it a bit hard to read.
• Beatiful pixel art and good choice of colors. I wish I could create hex tiles like this, I'd love to create hexmap games but the ugly tiles I manage to create are demotivating.
• I also liked the flavor texts of the different tiles very much, they very really short but managed to invoke the right vibes.

Followed you to keep an eye out for future releases. :)

Absolutely delightful! I followed your development on the jam server, and I wasn't disappointed when I finally tested the game.

Artistically, the game is impeccable; I'm fascinated by hexes, and the combination of your pixel art and sound design works very well!

In terms of mechanics, I'd say the game is a little difficult to grasp at first. I needed to play two full games and the tutorial before I felt I truly understood what I was doing. Even so, the most I got was 14 tiles.

But I don't think that's a problem; it's more about the type of game you were aiming to make.

Overall, congratulations on your entry; I think you nailed the theme ☺️

This game has such mechanical depth for a jam game! The learning curve was pretty steep, but once I got the hang of it, it was really engaging.

As far as I can tell, it gives you the same tiles, in the same order, until you play something that shuffles the deck. That's a little confusing. It looks like a deck-builder, but it plays more like a designed puzzle game.

I did eventually beat it, which was very satisfying. Overall, this is a very impressive game!

Really like the look and feel of this game.  It feels polished, the atmosphere is great, and placing the tiles has a nice satisfying click.  Its also fairly complex but the tutorial is really well done in introducing concepts slowly.

Might be a little too hard, I tried a few times but couldn't get any further than around 15 tiles placed - my draw was too low and I kept running out of tiles to place.  Had fun while trying though.
